Trump Suggests He’s Unlikely To Do Another Debate For This Reason
Former President Donald Trump said he is uncertain that he will do another debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, reasoning that he thinks he won Tuesday night’s event in a landslide and only losers want a rematch.
“When a fighter loses they say, ‘I want a rematch,’” he said in a phone interview with Fox News early Wednesday. “I won the debate. I don’t know that I want to do another debate.”
He repeated his stance when asked again, saying, “I’d be less inclined to because we had a great night.”
